Whoever comes out on top in the June 9 election for Fulton County Probate Court judge, they'll certainly won't have as colorful a name as the current officeholder, Judge Pinkie Toomer, who announced in January she wouldn't seek reelection.  

Toomer was serving as the Probate Court's chief deputy clerk in 2002 when then-Judge Floyd Propst retired after 25 years on the bench. Propst entered private practice and is currently a partner at Caldwell, Propst & DeLoach. Toomer was tapped to fill the judge's post and has been reelected ever since. 

Three hopefuls are vying to oversee the court that issues marriage license and gun permits and handles wills and estate matters.

Tim Curtin oversees a solo practice in Atlanta specializing in wills and estate planning and has served as a guardian ad litem for the Fulton Probate Court for more than 15 years, according to his campaign website.

He is the current chair of the Atlanta Bar Association's Estate Planning and Probate Section. 

Curtin received his law degree from Wake Forest University School of Law and joined the State Bar of Georgia in 1993. 

Kenya Johnson is the chief deputy solicitor in the office of Fulton County Solicitor General Keith Gammage, where her duties include those of community improvement prosecutor. 

Gammage recruited Johnson as his deputy when he was elected in 2016. Prior to that, she spent 13 years as a prosecutor with the Fulton County District Attorney's office. In 2018 she was among the recipients of the Daily Report's Georgia Legal Awards "Distinguished Leaders" honorees.

Johnson received her law degree from the South Texas College of Law Houston and joined the State Bar of Georgia in 2000.
